	Sigh.  I can't forsee our Autonomous Robotics course buying 
15 copies of IC 3.x or greater until it supports case/switch.  It's 
the only feature that our students using freeware 2.81 really complain 
that they miss.  #defines are nice, but global variables in ALL_CAPITALS 
work just as well from a code maintenance standpoint; the other advanced 
features (multi-dimensional arrays, advanced pointer stuff) just isn't 
useful to our students. 
 
	Could you please make adding case/switch a priority for IC 3.x 
or greater?
